MOVING-UP DAY EXERCISES FEATURE
THURSDAY'S ASSEMBLY AND ATHLETICS
Moving-TJp Day, which formerly was
•celebrated as an annual custom and now is observed as a time-honored institution, once again becomes the center of the college's activities this Thursday as the Seniors become potential Alumni and the other classes are promoted accordingly. For the iirst time in the history of its ob- servance, the Spiked Shoe Fraternity -will take charge of the 1929-30 Mov- ing-up Day program.
In the morning the annual assembly will be devoted to the track, basket- ball, and wrestling letter awards. Fiat Lux keys and honorary English prizes will also be given to those members -of the student body who have excelled in journalism or in the regular Eng- lish class-work. At the same time the old Presidents of the Athletic Associa- tion and the Student Senate will give way to the new, and the annual "Who's Who" on the Alfred Campus will be announced. It is also expected that the presentation of the Senior Cane
"will be handed down from John Ham- fcel, President of the Class of '30, to John Kickharn, the newly elected President of the Class of '31. Fur- ther than that, the members of the Freshmen Class will be able to issue forth from Alumni Hall that noon
"without the graceful adorment of the Frosh cap for the first time this year.
In the early part of the afternoon the student body will be treated to the unique sight of the third annual Bum's Derby, a four-mile race over a course to Alfred Station and return.
Following this event, the program will continue at Merrill Field, where the Frosh-Soph rivalry will be resumed with the customary tug-of-war and a possible flag rush.
The festivities for the Day will then be concluded with the long-awaited outdoor interclass track meet. The -Sophomores, who won the indoor con- test, must repeat the feat once more to gain possession of the Chester P. Lyon track trophy. The rule for this event reads that the team which scores the largest total of points in both the outdoor and indoor meets is award- ed the trophy lor the duration of one year.
The Spiked Shoe will also conduct a Tag Day program in an effort to raise funds which will be sufficient to finance the expenses of Captain JZschiegner to the National A. A. IT.
track and field meet at Chicago. The expenses of this trip will amount to a total expense of some one hundered thirty dollars, and it is hoped that the Spiked Shoe will receive the hearty support of the student body in this drive.

PSYCHOLOGISTS VISIT THE WILLARD STATE HOSPITAL ON INSPECTION TOUR; SEE MANY
WEIRD SIGHTS AS THE INMATES ENTERTAIN
The Willard State Hospital near Ovid, New York, was the destination of some 51 Alfredians who under the direction of Dr. Campbell left Alfred a week ago Wednesday morning at an early hour. The trip was originally planned for the members of the So- ciology and Abnormal Psychology classes but several interested members of Professor Bond's Genetics class were also invited.
A luncheon had been prepared for 31 people so that about half of the group journeyed over to Ovid for re- freshments. The inspection was then begun upon their return. First, the various men's wards were visited and the types of insanity shown by the inmates were explained to the group by Dr. Moses of the hospital staff.
He had some of the more interesting
r individuals perform in one way or I another to exhibit their particular type of mental illness. The same pro- cedure was followed in the woman's wards, with a little more interesting interlude when one of the inmates entertained the group by singing.
Some of them were quite willing to talk and proved to interesting con- versationalists.
After the main buildings had been inspected the Hermitage and the An- nex were visited. The laundry and j the shoe shop were the last places
! to be inspected, and the people there seemed to have greatest intelligence.
This trip was the fourth of an an- nual series of inspection tours which
! are conducted by the Department of
! Education under the direction of Dr.
l Campbell. He announced that there j would be no more excursions of this
type until next year.

Sigma Chi Nu Holds Spring Formal In Hornell
The Hornell Country CluD provided a beautiful setting for Sigma Chi Mu's spring formal, Saturday night. The music furnished for dancing during and after dinner by the Blue Bird Broadcasting Orchestra contributed greatly to the success of the party.
Guests of the evening were, Mrs.
Carrie E. Davis, Professor Beulah N.
Ellis, Professor Eva L. Ford, Profes- sor and Mrs. Joseph Seidlin and Mr.
and Mrs. D. S. Burdick, as well as sev- eral alumnae.
As a surprise came the announce- ment of the engagement of Doris E.
Mattice to Mr. L. Avery Boast of Eaton, N. Y.
Last Thursday marked another step in the material progress of Alfred when the new Social Hall was dedi- cated in the form of a corner-stone laying. The date for this event had been originally planned for Commence- ment Week, but the unexpected ar- rival of Mrs. Susan Howell Ames, the donor, hastened the laying of the I corner-stone. The Assembly program
! was then given over as the most convenient time for the affair.
The Assembly opened with an ad- dress by President Davis, who in turn introduced Mrs. Ames. The donor of the Susan Howell Social Hall express- ed her purposes and her original de- jsire for the erection of this building.
Chaplain McLeod followed with a few words by way of expressing the stu- dents' point of view, their kfyalty and the way of showing their love for the school. The President of .the Wo- man's Student Government, Florence Ploetz, and Jack E. McGraw, Presi- dent of the Student Senate, also spoke in behalf of the student body, thank- jing Mrs. Ames for her generosity and for her benevolent aid in the better- m e n t of Alfred.
Dean Norwood, speaking in behalf of the social views of both Deans in charge of men and women, raised the question of the historical and psychol- ogical significance in Mrs. Ames' orig- inal desire for the erection of the [building. The entire assemblage then
^repaired to the site of the Social Hall which is now under construction.
President Davis, in conducting the ceremony, caused a 1931 Kanakadea, two copies of the Fiat Lux, and one copy of the Alfred Sun to be placed I within the corner-stone. These pub- lications all bore the first announce- ments of the donation of the funds for 'the Hall and the plans of the structure
| as well. Mrs. S. H. Ames then sealed the stone and commemorated the cere- mony with the words, "I pronounce this stone to be well and truly laid."
The new structure will be used for the social development and recreation of the entire student body. Reading rooms, kitchens and a dance floor will be installed for the use of student or- iganizations and parties. The student j body and faculty both hail this new i donation as a huge step in the ma- terial and spiritual advancement of the University. -»"''
ST. BONAVENTURE COLLEGE GETS SPIRITED SUPPORT AS TWENTY-FOUR ALUMNI BRANCHES
RALLY ABOUT THEIR CONSUMED ALMA MATER
Two meetings held within a week of the fire which destroyed a large portion of the buildings of St. Bona- venture's College here on the after- noon of May 5, have demonstrated the spirit in which the reconstruction of the destroyed buildings have been undertaken. Following a meeting on May 9, of the advisory board of the trustees of the college, composed of a number of business men, it was an- nounced that plans were being made for the immediate replacement of the destroyed buildings. This board acts in an advisory capacity for the alumni of the college! who are assuming the responsibility of the reconstruction work. It is composed of men of all religious denomonations and wide- spread interests.
On May 13, the representatives of the twenty-seven chapters of the St.
Bonaventure Alumni Association met at the college and as spokesmen for the thousands of graduates in all parts
of the United States pledged their sup- port to the rebuilding of their Alma Mater.
While neither of the two large dor- mitory buildings of the college wero destroyed by the fire, among the struc- tures consumed were the offices of the president and administrative heads
•of the institution, and the large din-
! ing hall. This made it impossible for students to remain until the end of
\the school year and until these very necessary buildings are replaced the authorities of the school will be un- jable to resume the regular work of
the institution.
Aware of the tremendous difficulties presented by the lack of these vital i buildings, the representatives of the [Alumni Association with the advice I of the advisory board are making their construction the first objective of their efforts, so that the college ican begin its session promptly in the j early autumn.

The Loyalty Medal
The Loyalty Medal! What is it? What is it for? These are only a few of the qviestions that arise when one hears that this or that person is "in line" for the—Loyalty Medal.
A few have remarked that the award does not mean more than a scrap of tin to them. Were they being only cynical? Per- haps. Apparently their only difficulty rested on an interpretation of its meaning. For the past six years this problem has faced the Campus and during the same duration of time it has reverted to

PROFESSOR PAUL RUSBY REVIEWS ALFRED CAMPUS IN LETTER TO EDITOR
Editor of Fiat Lux Dear Sir:
Recent discussion on the campus concerning my resignation from Al- fred, prompts me to add a statement
a real desire on the part of the stu- dents themselves for power, and a willingness to assume the resulting responsibility.
While academic freedom is, of course, advanced or hindered through the instrumentality of individuals (and they must share some respon- sibility in each instance of its denial), if my analysis in the foregoing is any- where near correct, our energies could be most profitably applied toward the

ZSCH1EGNER RISES TO GREAT HEIGHTS
BY TWO VICTORIES
Emil G. Zschiegner, Captain of the Varsity track team and Middle Atlan- tic States record holder in the half mile, carried the colors of Alfred to the 1930 season's peak last Saturday when he placed first in both the mile and half mile events in the Middle Atlantics Track and Field meet at Haverford. The two victories not only brought the plaudits of the crowd, but the times for these races also drew the admiration of the fans when they realized the unusual stamina and abil- ity required for such a remarkable feat.
Fortunately Zschiegner faced the starting line for the mile before he was required to run his specialty—
the half mile. Zschiegner stepped a away in competition with a classy field of milers, but he soon strode ahead to a lead of about 25 yards.
On the last lap, "Chick" still held the lead, but the roar of the crowd seem- ed to note that Iiis competition was beginning to spurt. Digging his spikes into the cinders, "Chick" needfully finished the event with his usual half mile stride in only one second less time than Getz's Middle Atlantic rec- ord.
The half mile gun also found the Purple captain ready to defend his laurels. The star half-miler establish- ed a 20-yard lead, held his pace, and sprinted to the tape for a 1:58.8 race.
His time in this event was but two seconds above his Middle Atlantic and college mark for the 880.
Olander, as the second of the Var- sity pair in the competition failed to place in the discus. For the second time in three years the husky weight man came within a few inches of the scoring column. Olander came with- in % of an inch of breaking a five-year college record, and thus at the end of his fourth year of competition he leaves a record intact—a mark which he has unofficially broken at least a dozen times during his college career.
The Frosh relay team of Ryskind, Merck, Roe and Itazey, finished fourth in a banner field of five crack entries.
While Manhattan placed first for a new record of 7:49 minutes, the yearl- ing's time of 8:01 minutes was far from being mediocre. This quartet has established an enviable record, and each one of its members promises to improve considerably against inter- collegiate competition in the future.
iFrosli Tracksters Conclude Successful Season
The Frosh Track team closed a suc- cessful season Saturday when their relay team composed of Merck, Razey, Rowe and Ryskind entered the Middle Atlantics in the relay event and out of a field of some seventeen entrants placed fourth. The winners of the first positions were, first, Manliatten College; second, Muhlenburg; third, Union.
Captain "Chick" Zschiegner, of the Varsity, took two firsts at the meet in the half and mile runs, the time for both being about two seconds shy of the record which Getz holds in the mile and "Chick" in the half mile.
The Frosh schedule contained two dual meets, the first with Genesee Weslayan and the second with Cook Academy. Both meets wore won by scores entirely in the Frosh favor and showed a distinct superiority over their opponents. Common has been the outstanding man in the high jump but as yet has not duplicated his jump of five feet eleven inches for an official college record. Ryskind has turned in consistant results in the one hundred and two twenty dashes with Merck and Roe in the quarter.
Roe and Razey have made good time in the half and Razey has also been consistant in the mile. Buckley has been outstanding in the low hurdles and Shappee in the broad jump. The most versatile Frosh, however, has been Merck, who did well in the pole vault, quarter and high jump.
CERAMIC GUILD
A exhibition of pottery done by Professor Binns and a small student group was sent to Geneseo Normal School.
A piece done by Dorothy Hallock has been sent to the High School at Wheeling, West Virginia, to be part of their permanent collection. This is to be followed by others.
Several of the Ceramic Society members have positions as counsellors in various camps. At Camp Tegawitha Less Conklin '27 and Alta Clair '27;

The Frosh relay team turned in some excellent individual timjjs at the Middle Atlantics last week. Rys- kind ran the 220 in 23 seconds; Merck the 440 in 53; Roe stepped the half in 2:06 minutes, while Razey negotiated the second mile of his college career in 4:39.
Alfred's two man team garnered ten j points in the Middle Atlantics, the first time the Purple has placed so low in the annual classic. It seems too bad that the Athletic Association doesn't shave enough money to send a team
| o this event. Zschiegner and Olander were sent largely through the efforts of Phi Psi Omega.
The second round of the Girls' In- terclass Tennis Tournament has not as yet been played off due to adverse weather conditions. Old Man Weather permitting, the second round and finals will be concluded this week. The
|winners to date are Wicks, Sheheen, Mitchell and Parmalee.
Chick had little trouble in winning |.
the half and mile events but his team- j mate ran into some stiff competition I his specialties; the javelin, discus and shot.
As far as the Purple cinder team is concerned the 1930 track season has been terminated. Captain Zschiegner has been the mainstay of the team | ithroughout a none too successful sea-
son and his efforts should be rewarded j by supporting the Tag Day and Inter- class meet Thursday, which will both be benefit affairs. If enough funds jare realized, he will be sent to Chicago to compete in the National meet.
Chances for victory in the half are good and he should be given the op- iportunity to climax his college career
as Getz did.
The Frosh relay team consisting of Ryskind, Roe, Razey and Merck ran a nice race to take fourth in the special freshman relay event.
